Nail Glue Composition

Abstract

A nail glue composition includes at least one cyanoacrylate of the formula CH 2 γC(CN)COOR, an anionic stabiliser, and an antioxidant stabiliser comprising at least one stabiliser compound selected from the group consisting of α-tocopherol, β-tocopherol, γ-tocopherol, δ-tocopherol, α-tocotrienol, β-tocotrienol, γ-tocotrienol, δ-tocotrienol, and derivatives thereof. R is ethyl, methoxyethyl, ethoxyethyl, n-butyl or octyl or mixtures thereof. The at least one stabiliser compound is in an amount of at least 0.02 wt % of the nail glue composition.

 derivatives thereof; 
   in which the at least one stabiliser compound is in an amount of at least 0.02 wt % of the nail glue composition.   
     
     
         2 . The nail glue composition according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one stabiliser compound is present in an amount of at least 0.1 wt % of the nail glue composition. 
     
     
         3 . The nail glue composition according to  claim 2 , wherein the at least one stabiliser compound is present in an amount of at least 0.2 wt % of the nail glue composition. 
     
     
         4 . The nail glue composition according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one cyanoacrylate is in a range of 85 to 99 wt % of the nail glue composition. 
     
     
         5 . The nail glue composition according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one stabiliser compound is selected from the group consisting of:
 α-tocopherol, β-tocopherol, γ-tocopherol, δ-tocopherol, α-tocotrienol, β-tocotrienol, γ-tocotrienol and δ-tocotrienol.   
     
     
         6 . The nail glue composition according to  claim 1 , wherein the antioxidant stabiliser comprises at least 0.02 wt % α-tocopherol. 
     
     
         7 . The nail glue composition according to  claim 1 , further comprising a thickener. 
     
     
         8 . The nail glue composition according to  claim 7 , wherein the thickener is polymethyl methacrylate. 
     
     
         9 . The nail glue composition according to  claim 8 , wherein the polymethyl methacrylate is present in a range of 0.1 wt % to 14 wt % of the nail glue composition. 
     
     
         10 . The nail composition according to  claim 1 , wherein the antioxidant stabiliser is present in a range 0.03% to 0.7% of the nail glue composition. 
     
     
         11 . The nail composition according to  claim 1 , further comprising a plasticiser. 
     
     
         12 . The nail glue composition according to  claim 11 , wherein the plasticiser is selected from Triacetin and Tributyl Citrate. 
     
     
         13 . The nail glue composition according to  claim 11 , wherein the plasticiser is present in a range 2 wt % to 15 wt %. 
     
     
         14 . The nail glue composition according to  claim 1 , further comprising a colourant. 
     
     
         15 . The nail glue composition according to  claim 14 , wherein the colourant is D&C Red 7.
